Fort Myers Beach firefighters were able to contain and put out a blaze at a Fort Myers Beach house on Pearl Street Monday afternoon. The cause of the blaze was still being investigated Monday evening.<\/p>\n

The fire started at about 3:30 p.m., according to the Fort Myers Beach Fire Control District.<\/p>\n

Estero Boulevard was closed off in the area around Pearl Street and the DiamondHead Beach Resort after the fire broke out at the beachfront home.<\/p>\n

None of the occupants of the home were injured, Fort Myers Beach Fire Chief Scott Wirth said. One firefighter suffered a minor injury.<\/p>\n

The fire was put out by approximately 4:35 p.m.<\/p>\n

More than a dozen fire trucks responded to the fire, along with the Lee County Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

Crews from Iona-McGregor Fire and Bonita Fire District responded for assistance with coverage.<\/p>\n

DiamondHead Beach Resort General Manager Neil Hopgood said the fire did not spread to the resort\u2019s property.<\/p>\n

Hopgood said he believed the owners of the house were close to reopening before the fire.<\/p>\n
